Tannoy-JBL question..

Mt, i am talking about vintage JBL's from the late 70s early 80's,,,not the current stuff.

Its well known that Tannoy drivers were great when the vintage Golds came out, but the cabinets sucked.

I understand, but u guys are missing the point...I know the value differences in $$, and regarding surrounds, I am obviously looking at speakers whose surrounds are in good shape.

Cult following or not doesnt necessarily make the sound...Old JBL's also have a cult following...It seems to me that for sale, there are as many vintage Tannoys as vintage JBL's.

S23Chang..your right on the money with the McIntosh MC40's, thats why I sold them awhile ago. Regarding the EV's, I do have some vintage Ainico McIntosh supertweeters coming to me(a friend built some special stands for them) to go on top of the EV's.. I also agree about the cabs (just havent found anyone to make them) I do have a pair of TL's that were designed for Lambda Acoustic subs, maybe i will try the EV's in them...

I now use only the Berning EA-230 triodes, which I absolutely love, and I havent listened to the AR preamp you mentioned, but the amp-preamp setup is working very well as it is.

maybe I will invest in some cabs for the EV's,,
